Liked the game! But maybe do something with the prompts? They were difficult to include (though Blaine did it so well)!

This is HILARIOUS. I agree with the other people who suggested a question limit or a longer time limit per side.

I loved this new game! However, there needs to be a change in either the time limit or the prompts given by the jury/audience. Either 1 prompt for 60 seconds, or 3 prompts in 3 minutes. Or maybe just limit it to 5 questions with no time limit. I feel like this game could've gone much longer and been even more interesting. I really enjoy the concept though.

Pretty cool game, I'd love to see more of this, after the kinks are worked out.

Speaking as a lawyer, that was totally accurate. Yup. Spot on insight into courtroom drama by On the Spot. XD

I feel like the time limit is a bad idea for a game like this. Maybe if the lawyers got 5 questions each or something?

Otherwise I really enjoyed the originality of the game

100% was not sure how this game was going to go, but I ended up liking it in the end. I feel like it took a little bit of extra time just because it was the first time playing it. I very much look forward to the streamlining/tweaking of the game.

This game needs way more time, this could have played out to a 5 minute scene

Jon's hair making an appearance is always a good time. Awesome game type! I can see a lot of players doing really well with this. I agree with the other comments though, either more time for questioning or less objects, or both.

Great game, quite entertaining. Although the audience should be asked at the start of the show for the prompts, that way broadcast can have the prompts on the screen so its less pressure to remember the prompts

Good game, needs to cut back on the object prompts. Too much pressure to fit them into too little time

I LOVE this game, this is brilliant and you honestly picked a great group of people to try this out with. I like this game a lot, it's different and the role-playing is always fun. Please do this more, this will be a great game with Barbara, Elyse, Miles, and especially Joel at some point too

Great game! I like the audience participation! it got creative and seemed like a lot of fun to play as opposed to the usual moaning and groaning

Love the new game! It is hilarious how much roleplaying there is. However the time limit really limited it. I would suggest allowing the lawyers a question limit instead, say 5 questions each, that way there is plenty of time to put together a case and defend it.

Very funny premise for a game, I'd love to see it again. But it needs some ironing out. I'm thinking increase the time to 1.5 - 2 minutes, and decrease the objects to 1 or 2.

Interesting new game. I'd say you definitely need to add some more time for the questioning, or just let each team ask 5 questions. Maybe also go to 2 words instead of 3. Would love to see this again after it's been workshopped a bit.

Also, since Jon is part of the game, he can moderate a bit if something is going to long or gets too off course.

I think adding maybe 90 seconds for questioning, only 3 objects for the whole case, and another round of cross examining would make this a well rounded game! Nice job though, very funny! Thanks everyone!

I think 3 objects for the whole game would be better, and a 3rd follow up lightning round where the lawyers take turns rattling off questions to the others for closing statements would make this game golden.

I was a little skeptical when Jon described the game, but the guys sold me on it. I think it needs workshopped a little bit, because sixty seconds isn't a lot of time for something like this, but the premise is pretty great.

Like others already said, they definitely need more time for that game. 60 seconds is a little short.

It needs more time. 3 Objects in 60 Seconds is very hard. And the Lawyers kept talking.

Personally, I think the game would be more interesting if it worked similarly to a redemption challenge. The team with less points is the prosecution, and the team with more is the defense. If the prosecution wins, they get to steal some of the other team's points.

Second, I think that rather than have the game be time-based, it should be based around questions. So one team gets to ask a question, and follow the line of questioning through until Jon rings the bell (or hits a gavel). This would give the lawyer time to prepare a good/funny/trapping question, and would give the witness time to vamp and spin the story. Each team would get 2 or so lines of questioning to go through before the final ruling (maybe some last words at the end).

It seemed ambiguous as to who was required to use the items. I think the lawyers should be the ones required to use them, as they are the ones bringing the damning evidence, and the witnesses are telling the stories and figuring out how to use the items to their advantage.

Finally, I thought the part right before the timer started, where both teams were playing their full roles (both the lawyers and witnesses engaging), was better than the interactions in the game (where only one lawyer could talk to the opposing witness). Maybe account for more cross-play between lawyers and between witnesses.

Who is the person with the raging fetish for 60 seconds in this show's production? Why does every round have to be sixty seconds long, even when it's clearly not enough?
